Biografie

Jon Stewart is considered one of America’s top social and comedic voices. Since taking over as the host of “The Daily Show” in January of 1999, the show and the network have seen higher ratings. As host of “The Daily Show” Stewart has interviewed such luminaries as former President Bill Clinton, Senators Hillary Rodham Clinton, John Kerry, John Edwards and Bob Dole and such celebrity icons as Tom Cruise, Tom Hanks and Bruce Willis.

For the past five years, Stewart and “The Daily Show” have received 10 Emmy Award nominations and won 7. These include winning for Outstanding Writing for a Variety, Music or Comedy Program four times: 2001, 2003, 2004 and 2005 as well as Outstanding Variety, Music or Comedy Series in 2003, 2004 and 2005. Jon himself was nominated for Outstanding Individual Performance in a Variety or Music Program in 2002, 2003 and again in 2005.

In 2004, “The Daily Show” was also honored by the Television Critics Association by winning for Outstanding Achievement in News and Information, beating out traditional news shows in the category. In 2003 and 2005, Jon won for Individual Achievement in Comedy and the show won in 2003 for Outstanding Achievement in Comedy. In 2001, “The Daily Show” also received the prestigious Peabody Award for excellence in its “Indecision 2000” campaign coverage and again in 2005 for “Indecision 2004.”

While it may be the conventional route for a stand-up comedian to sign a book deal and expound on their early days inside dingy comedy clubs, Stewart has gone the other way. His debut book, Naked Pictures of Famous People, (Rob Weisbach Books) is a collection of humorous what-if essays. Stewart’s latest book (written with the writers at “The Daily Show”), AMERICA (THE BOOK): A Citizen’s Guide to Democracy Inaction, was released September 20th through Warner Books Publishing, and immediately topped The New York Times Best Seller List and stayed at #1 for 18 consecutive weeks. It was also ranked #1 on the best-seller lists in The Wall Street Journal, The Los Angeles Times, USA Today and San Francisco Chronicle. “America” was given the prestigious book of the year in 2004 by Publishers Weekly. In addition, at the 2005 Grammy awards, both Jon and the Cast of “The Daily Show” were honored with Best Comedy Album, for AMERICA: A Citizen's Guide to Democracy Inaction.

Prior to taking over “The Daily Show,” Stewart was a series regular on HBO’s criticallyacclaimed series-within-a-series, “The Larry Sanders Show,” playing a character he should know very well: himself. The final season saw, among other things, Stewart seemingly being groomed to take over the fictitious late-night throne from the perpetually paranoid Larry Sanders (Garry Shandling). Stewart also served as a creative consultant on the series. Most recently Stewart has been featured on such shows as “Oprah” and “60 Minutes.” Other television credits for Stewart include the Cable Ace-nominated one-hour HBO comedy special “Jon Stewart: Unleavened,” which premiered in September 1996, as well as guest hosting “The Late, Late Show With Tom Snyder,” “News Radio and Mr. Show With Bob & David.”

Stewart has graced the cover of numerous magazines including Newsweek, Rolling Stone, New York Magazine, etc. He was also named “Entertainer of the Year” for 2004 by Entertainment Weekly and is being honored as New York Entertainer of the Year” by Variety.

Stewart’s been seen in numerous feature films including the Danny De Vito-directed Warner Brothers comedy DEATH TO SMOOCHY starring Edward Norton, Robin Williams, De Vito and Catherine Keener; BIG DADDY opposite Adam Sandler, which grossed over $160 million dollars domestically; the romantic drama PLAYING BY HEART opposite Gillian Anderson; and THE FACULTY, a horror-comedy directed by Robert Rodriguez.

Hosting a late-night talk show was nothing new to Stewart. After briefly hosting a half-hour nighttime talk show on MTV, aptly titled “The Jon Stewart Show,” Paramount enlarged the show to a one-hour format for national syndication. The critically acclaimed talk show featured a variety of celebrity guests from the worlds of music, entertainment, sports and fashion. The show aired from September 1994 through June 1995.
